This Memory Alive in Me

Ireland Paintings By Dawn Richerson

Inspired by the legendary events at Glenade Lake in Ireland, this painting brings together ancient legend and my connection to the formation rising from the mountains above, which I call "Mother on the Mountain." Here, she comes as if from another world, bearing witness to the gruesome scene. The monster, called the Dobhar-chu by the Irish, seems to have become one with the bloated, floating body of its victim. On the nearby shore, her bereft husband looks on along with stands of trees along the shore. In the background, the Irish skies open to the reign of stormy spirits. This is the memory alive in me. In the heart of the Emerald Isle I was met with mystery and miracle. The soul of Ireland spoke to my soul, and I was forever changed.
